Hi guys,
We want to customise the events page in order to show events grouped by categories in a grid layout and show the category description for each category.
I have seen that Josh shared this useful example to extract events:
https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/e3c9540cd4ccc734e755
I wonder if it’s possible to create a customised query to extract the categories and the use the categories retrieved from the query to get all the events by category.
Thanks so much for you support,
Federico

Hi Federico,
The example from that gist was intended to do one list. You might look into the Grid template add-on where you can set up multiple shortcodes displaying categories of events on a page. This method allows for displaying the category description too.

Hi Josh,
Thank you for your message.
We were wondering if there is another method to extract all the categories, that might be useful to customize the view. We’d like to have a page with the name and description of each category and below each category the events related to that category.

EE categories are terms in a custom taxonomy, so you can use get_terms to pull all of the EE categories, for example:
$taxonomy = array('espresso_event_categories');
$args = array('orderby'=>'name','hide_empty'=>true);
$ee_terms = get_terms($taxonomy, $args);
$ee_terms will be an array of WP_Term objects.
Is that what you are looking for?
